Fellow Daoists, Would You Like To Buy Gatling?

  Chapter 17 17. Dream Tree and Flower

   "Let's go."

   Jiang Xia was struggling, half carrying and half dragging Su, and rubbed her head on Jasmine's head. This time, she did not resist this action anymore, or she was afraid of falling the water tank in her arms.

  This is a valuable thing.

  The three people climbed up the pit very hard. The night has reached its darkest time, but the dawn will come next.

   "It's dead and dead."

  Jiang Xia threw the unconscious Su on the ground and cursed. He looked in the direction of Fengshan Street and then looked back at Jasmine. The girl was staring at everything in front of her in a daze.

  In her prosthetic eyes, you can see everything under the dark night.

  She saw the world.

  The vegetation, the clear air, and the breath of life, this is a landscape she has never seen before. She looked at it for a while, but did not realize that her pocket was opened by Jiang Xia.

"give me back!"

  Molly saw Jiang Xia holding the stuff wrapped in tin foil in her hand, she screamed, and rushed up, that was her food!

  She got it herself!

  As a result, as soon as he threw out, Jiang Xia stretched out his hand to hold his head, and his short body was also pressed in place.

   Jiang Xia glanced at her, opened the tin foil, looked at the mouse meat in it with some hesitation, and finally, under Jasmine's gaze, he twisted a piece and put it beside his mouth, taking a small bite.

smell

  It’s hard to say a word.

   Then, he handed the meat to Jasmine again, showing a big smile.

  Jasmine was stunned.

  When Jiang Xia threw the meat skewers just now, the disgust on her face could not be concealed. Jasmine could see clearly, why did this person want

  Ah, yes.

  Is he apologizing?

   Still saying that he has kindness?

   But no matter what, no matter what Jiang Xia was thinking, this was the first time in her life that Jasmine had been taken into consideration by others.

  The person in front of him didn't ignore her and didn't regard her as a walking part.

  Maybe

  Jasmine hugged her baby skewers, tilted her head, she thought of watching Jiang Xia pick up Su again.

  This person is not as bad as he thought, is it so bad? —

   "Daxia Jiang, where did you pick up that kid?"

  At dawn, in Huang Guanshi’s house, Mrs. Niu rolled up her sleeves and swiftly placed a plate of dishes on the table. Because she didn't want to attract attention, they were all cold dishes, no hot dishes.

   But if so, it is already very rich.

  Jiang Xia also changed into a suit of yellow pipe worker clothes. He was holding a bun and eating. Hearing Mrs. Niu asked, he raised his head and said:

"what happened?"

   "Too dirty."

  Mrs. Niu was born in a peasant family, and she was a practical and capable person.

  This will be compelled by things. Standing on Jiang Xia’s side, there is not much complaint. While delivering a tray of steamed buns, she glanced outside the house and said:

   "The kid hasn't taken a bath for years.

  I just went to take a look, and I can rub mud out of my body, and I don’t look like a local, and I’m talking things that we don’t understand. "

   "Mrs. Niu has double eyes."

   Jiang Xia continued to eat, following her words, Hu Xu said:

  "It is the posthumous son of a friend of mine in the Southern Wilderness. He was sent to me a few days ago. The child has no father or mother. The child is very pitiful. I hope Mrs. Niu will take care of it these days.

   Said to the outside world that he was a distant relative of your family. "

  As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Laosi sneaked into the house, carrying a large bag of things in his arms, as if offering treasures, and piled those things on the corner of the dining table.

  Good fellow.

  In a big bag, it was full of various kinds of copper coins, broken silver, and a few pieces similar to silver bills and jewels.

   "Boss, I found it."

   Liu Laosi proudly said:

  "Thanks to the blessing of Mrs. Niu, I found the old thing in the backyard, and there is a big cellar with some heavy objects such as rice, silk and the like.

   said that when Ruyifang is a good manager, I really opened my eyes today.

  These goods are enough for us to go far and fly, go to other places to buy some fields, and become a rich man. "

   "Look at what you have done."

  Jiang Xia didn't even look at the baggage and the money in it.

  These things are useless to him.

  He finished eating the steamed buns in his hand, clapped his hands, took out a stack of banknotes from the baggage, thought about it, and simply picked up the entire baggage and handed it to Mrs. Niu.

  The latter dare not pick it up yet, a bit at a loss.

   "Take it back and put it away. If you have time in the future, send it to your family and ask them to move quickly. Keep a low profile. The farther you move, the better. It's best to move to a place outside of Ruyifang's forces."

   Jiang Xia told:

   "It's your own private money. When the dust settles, you can also go with them. I said before that it won't hurt you. This is the proof."

   "Huh? Good, good."

  Mrs. Niu was at a loss.

  She knows that her husband is hiding things, but as a concubine warming her bed, how can she dare to have bad thoughts on weekdays?

  This will listen to Jiang Xia's words, so he trembles and takes it.

  So much money!

  Her family can't make a profit after working hard in the fields for ten lifetimes!

  With this money, Auntie and Auntie don’t have to work all day. Three younger sisters and four younger sisters can also marry a good family. It's better to be a concubine for a bad old man like yourself and be bullied all day long.

  The future of the family is in my own hands.

  Mrs. Niu will be dizzy, half-excited and half-anxious, holding the baggage, walking out like floating,

  "Do you have anyone available?"

   Jiang Xia looked back at Liu Laosi with a painful face. The latter showed an awkward smile and touched his head and said:

   "I am surrounded by friends of wine and meat, and we are going to be rich and wealthy together. If we want to work together, I am afraid that it will not work."

"trouble."

   Jiang Xia frowned and said something.

  He thought about it, and then said:

  "With Lord Bao as an excuse, I'm afraid it won't be too long. You must cut the mess quickly before they react! Tell me about the situation in this mining village. Apart from Ruyifang, is there anyone in charge here?"

"have."

  The skinny Liu Laosi touched the rat's whiskers and said:

  "Fengshan Mine is nominally the property of the imperial court. Although it was held by Ruyifang several decades ago, there is still a mine superintendent in Fengming County.

  The little official with the size of Sesame Mung Bean, I heard that he was squeezed out by his colleagues, and he ended up here.

  On weekdays, he doesn't care about anything, and no one takes him seriously, but if you really want to talk about it, he is the chief officer of Fengshan Mine. "

  In the words of the fourth oldest, he had no respect for the mine inspector, so he knew that what he said was not bad, and even the lowest level like him did not take the mine inspector appointed by the court seriously.

   "Then Ruyifang, how many people are there?"

   Jiang Xia asked again.

  Law Si shook his head and said:

"No.

  Just a group of fighters who fight black fists and make money in the mine, as well as the servants under various stewards, boss, there are hundreds of strong miners in this mine, all of whom have signed contracts with Ruyifang.

  I really encounter things, even if everyone picks up a stick, they can walk sideways around this mountain.

  It is said that it is the official industry, but in fact it is like the state of Ruyifang. They are here like the emperor of the earth. It has a big business, and all counties in Fengming Middle School have industries, as well as the relationship with the imperial court.

  Who dare to provoke them? "

  "How many roads are there between the mountain and the outside world? How far is the nearest village and town from here?"

   Jiang Xia continued to ask.

  Liu Laosi is not a local, but he has been here for more than ten years. He is naturally a Voldeworm, and he answered like fluent:

  "Fengshan Street is deep in the mountains. In order to send mines, a road was specially built. There are not many villages and towns nearby. It takes a long time to ride a horse from here. If you walk, it will take more than two days."

  "I heard that Ruyifang has a connection with Xianren?"

   Jiang Xia picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He said:

   "If Fengshan Mine is blocked and the way out is blocked, will they have any fairy-style means that can transmit sound through thousands of miles?"

   "There may be outside."

   Liu Laosi shook his head and said:

   "Even if there are real treasures from the fairy family, how can they be placed in the Fengshan Mine?

  Boss, Ruyifang has mines in other places besides here. Fengshan Mine is already an old mine, and it produces enough ordinary ore every year.

  But spirit mines have become less and less in recent years.

  Although this place is valuable, it is not the real lifeblood of Ruyifang. There are only seven stewards here. Even their private soldiers are not stationed. Naturally, there is no such treasure. "

   "Well, I know."

   Jiang Xia had a general idea in her mind, so she nodded and said to Liu Laosi:

  "Go and look at the man with his arm removed. When he wakes up, he will call me, and then send these dishes and steamed buns to the girl. Don't let them go out. I will sleep for a while.

  Don’t have too many ideas. "

   Jiang Xia said:

  "The share given to Mrs. Niu is to thank her for helping us cover things up and calm her mind. It is all small fortune. There are so many good things in a single yellow manager, and there are six other managers like him.

  I want those goods to be useless, and those things will be yours afterwards. "

  He said to Liu Laosi:

  "At that time, whether you want to be a rich man, or if you want to continue to follow me, it’s up to you. We will meet together, and we will do things together.

  Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

  The sky is falling, and I am holding it. "

  After making a wish, Liu Laosi also left the room with the dishes.

  Jiang Xia yawned. Today’s things are too many and too complicated, and she was still desperate in the wasteland just now. This will again have to fight against the local tyrants and evil gentry in the ancient world.

  The transformation of time and space made him feel unreal.

  This will loosen up, and I feel sleepy, without even going to the bed, I lie on the table, fall asleep with my arm in a daze, and my left hand is still on my waist, just buckled on the handle of the gun.

  This time, the dream is a bit weird.

   is no longer Jiang Shusheng's predecessor. The moment Jiang Xia closed his eyes, stars gathered and dispersed in front of him, as if he had stepped into the consciousness space that had trapped him for three years.

   In the light of the fluttering stars before his eyes, in the phantom, the weird tree is still in place.

   is still a bad shape like a potted plant.

   is just magnified many times.

  Amidst the reality, it seems as if the stars converge into the main body of the tree.

  The seven-stranded tree trunk is bare, without a leaf on it, but at the end of the twisted branch, there is a fruit-like thing hanging down.

  Six out of seven are illusory, as if they don’t really exist.

  But at the edge of the lowest branch, there is the last fruit that is solid, shining with white light, very small, like a jujube.

  It's not so much a fruit as it is a bud before it blooms and bears fruit.

  "It’s weird that you just blossomed and the results were fruitful."

   Jiang Xia smiled and put her hand on the branch

   is still a cold touch, but there is not much magic, but every time you touch the trunk, the stars around this dream will change a bit.

   is not real, it is still vague, between the virtual and the real.

  Until, Jiang Xia’s fingers touched the end of the branch, the bud of the little flower that had just formed.

  The moment his finger touched the little flower, the starry sky suddenly changed, just like the reflection of a giant screen in a movie, a very familiar scenery emerged.

  The sky is full of yellow sand, and the sky is endless.

  There is also the desert town that is conspicuous under the scorching sun and is wrapped in brown vegetation. Jiang Xia even saw Roger in the reflection. The guy is leading a group of people, cleaning up the ruins.

  The reflection is right in front of you.

  The truth is incredible, like a water curtain separated by a water curtain, as long as you take a step forward, you can walk into it.

  This is a door!

   Jiang Xia was joyful in her heart.

  He finally knew the usefulness of this strange star tree.

  I finally know why before, this tree suddenly bloomed, and it must have been stimulated when walking through the star array.

  He looked back and carefully observed the buds on the branches of the tree, and found that its small flowers were very dim, but after a few minutes, they were brighter than before.

  Perhaps, you have to wait until this flower is lit before you can set foot in the wasteland again.

   is like a charging process.

   "Good baby!"

  Jiang Xia hugged her tree, and she was filled with joy in her heart.

   "Rogge, Black Hand Society, ha ha, our fate is still unbroken, wait, I'll go to you soon."

   "Let's talk about the ‘trust issue’ between us."
